WALTON NOTES.
ng and sowing is the order of the day,

Flowing and sowing is the order of the day,
at present.
Mr.. Esher is able to be about, and we hope
soon to note his complete recovery.
We notice neighbor McCroskey's face beams
muchly-a young boarder has arrived.
Charles Huffman of Saline county this state,
is at present aguest of Archie Speer. Mr.. Fl.

Mrs. Speer was quite a sufferer, the first of
the week, from erysipelas. Glad to report
some Improvement at present writing.
The railroad survey along the DriftwOOd
was completed, last week. and the whistle of
the locomotive will soon be heard in the land,
no doubt.
Rev. Tasker preached one of his excellent
sermons to a crowded house, last Sabbath.

In the face of the fact that the repub-
lican party of this state had declared for
submission, it is not a matter of credit
to the lower house of the legislature
that the prohibition submission amend
ment was defeated in that body-strang-
led in the home of its friends. THE
TRIBUNE considers the action ill-advised,
a polity sh%ort-sighted and defective. AS
the senate will doubtless follow in the
footsteps of the lower house, the matter
will perforce be laid aside for a year or
two. This, however, does not dispose
of the issue, simply defers it until the
sentiment and temper of this people will
not brook the existence, much less the
dictation of political Judases. The pro-
hibition idea has taken hold on the minds
and hearts of the people, and while pol
iticians.i in their desire to hold the liquor
element, may temporarily Illustrate and
forestall legislation, eventually it will
sweep we this state as a mighty tidal
wave.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1887-03-17

With this issue of the TRIBUNE, we
lay down u pen and give way to u
able successors, who, we trust will fill
this column with news erich and racy,"
at the expense too of every one who will
kindly lend a helping hand, as we have
done. In the discharge of the duties of
this Office We have tried to please all and
to offend none, and in so doing have
realized the preposterous impossibility
of such an undertaking. Our slumbers
have been disturbed and our waking
hours made hideous by adverse criticism,
and we have been led to curse the fell
low that beguiled us into this position
by proelaiming to our receptive hearts
the idea that 1.-The pen is mightier than
sword As for us, take the pen and
give US the sword. To those who have
enjoyed our column, we owe a debt of
gratitude, which we can never pay, and
to those who have been bored we will
promise never to send such an infection
again. As for ourselves the work has
not been barren of results. Many i'm
portant lessons have been learned which
will prove beneficial to us in the near
future, and in resigning the Office to our
successors, Davis and Clyde, we leave
the chair with 'smalice toward none, but
charity for all. May their editorial
career be a happy, prosperous one.

YOUNG TIFFANY, the son of the New
York jeweller. is a very small specimen
of genus homo. He made what the cod
fish call a ''mesalliance" by marrying a
seamstress. His parents turned him out
of his clerkship and cut off his supplies,
refusing to recognize the marriage.
The thin bloodeddud stood poverty just
two weeks, and then at the instigation
of the ''family" sneaked off in the night
for Europe without saying good bye.
Somebody ought to empty a slop bucket

THE Congregational ministers at tbei

THE Congregational ministers at their
meeting yesterday adopted appropriate
resolution on the death of Henry Ward
Beecher. The informal resolution Of
fered a week ago was simply an express
sion of sympathy for Mrs. Beecher,
and speak in fitting terms of the work
and character of the great preacher.
The action of the ministry yesterday is
without doubt more in accord with the
sentiment Of Chicago Congregat;onalists
than was the hasty action of last week.

THE following pen picture of the metro
politan saloonist. true to life in every detail,
is drawn by Jay of the Lincoln Journal
Topics:
''There are in the city of New York S,034
saloon keepers-prOprietors of grOg shops
high and low, mostly low. OF these {, 1854 have
been too good to be free continually, and
therefore every man in the gang has served a
term of longer or shorter duration in the
county jail. Of the remaining number ,764
have been confined in police stations from
two TO four times each, while from the bal
ance of the crowd 1876 have been arrested
and tried at divers and sundry times for diff
ferent kinds and grades of crime. From the
first and best to the latest and worst the sa-
loon keepers of New York city compose q
cold bloOded, ignorant and dangerous moi of
human brutes, and the democratic party down
there does well to treat them handsomely and
give them a representative in congress now
and then"

An examination of the earthquake
record since the twelfth century shows
that Southern Italy and Sicily are more
subject to violent shocks than any other
part Of the world. The nine most dis
astrous shocks that have occurred in
that region destroyed altogether l62, 900
lives. The most terrible of these was
the Sicilian earthquake of 1893, in
which 100, 900 lives were lost. But
the number of deaths in that instance
were only half the number of deaths
caused by the earthquake at Yeddo,
japan, in 1903, the most tremendous
on record. The greatest loss of life
caused by earthquakes on this continent
occurred at Panama in 1897, when 49,
600 people persisted. In 1868 the
earthquakes in Peru and Ecuador killed
%, 600 persons.
